Hang Tight

I’m awfully impatient, yeah that’s what I’m told
I get tired of sitting and waiting for something to take hold
I’m incredibly nervous and now my face turned red
As you walked in the backroom, I needed to have you
And that’s when I said
I can feel the rhythm of ya
And I know you like to dance
So come on, shake it down, sister
I wanna be your only man
I can feel the rhythm of ya
But you better play it cool
So you gotta slow your roll, brother
If you wanna be my dude
So hang tight, I don’t wanna keep you waiting
In hindsight, maybe I was being misleading
So tonight, I just wanna stop debating
So hang tight cause it’s the best that I can do
You know I’m not ready, I’mma take my time
Commitment is often tough, especially in your prime
So I’mma take the road less traveled and spend my bread
And I’ll always think of the one night we shared with the moonlight
And that’s when you said
I can feel the rhythm of ya
And I know you like to dance (I know you like to dance)
So come on, shake it down, sister (Shakin’ it down)
I wanna be your only man
I can feel the rhythm of ya (You know I can feel it)
But you better play it cool (You better play it cool)
So you gotta slow your roll, brother
If you wanna be my dude
So hang tight, I don’t wanna keep you waiting
In hindsight, maybe I was being misleading
So tonight, I just wanna stop debating
So hang tight cause it’s the best that I can do
So hang tight, I don’t wanna keep you waiting
In hindsight, maybe I was being misleading
So tonight, I just wanna stop debating
So hang tight cause it’s the best that I can do

Music of My Mind
03:51

Baby you stay in perfect time
Baby you keep the funk alive
You’re the music, you’re the music, you’re the music of my mind
When I was younger I used to always dream
Of waking up Christmas morning and strollin’ through NYC
Snow in Central Park, a limo with my own chauffeur
Feeling like a big-shot, Kevin McCallister
And then I realized on 5th Avenue
Millions of people walk by but none of ‘em look like you
Helpless and alone, two things you never wanna hear
I need love like yours to keep me through until next year
And ooh I knew that you’d be true
Even when I wasn’t with you
So please ignore my selfish ways and please just stay
So baby don’t slip-slide away, cause...
I keep feelin’ all this loneliness without you
I wanna tell ya that I’m more than ‘just about you’
Baby you stay in perfect time
Baby you keep the funk alive
You’re the music, you’re the music, you’re the music of my mind
Twenty years later I’m feeling the gravity
Life moving twice as fast and getting the best of me
So, can you try to make it slow down?
Cause this anxiety is all around
I wanna feel comfortable, I wanna sing in tune
You bring me sunshine, when I’m howling at the moon
You can be the flame and maybe I can be your spark
That ignites the feeling deep inside each other’s hearts
And ooh I knew that you’d be true
Even when I wasn’t with you
So please ignore my selfish ways and please just stay
So baby don’t slip-slide away
I keep feelin’ all this loneliness without you
I wanna tell ya that I’m more than ‘just about you’
Baby you stay in perfect time
Baby you keep the funk alive
You’re the music, you’re the music, you’re the music of my mind
I keep feelin’ all this loneliness without you
I wanna tell ya that I’m more than ‘just about you’
Baby you stay in perfect time
Baby you keep the funk alive
You’re the music, you’re the music, you’re the music of my mind
I keep feeling’ all this loneliness without you
I wanna tell ya that I’m more than ‘just about you’
Baby you stay in perfect time
Baby you keep the funk alive
You’re the music, you’re the music, you’re the music of my mind

Deja Vu
04:19
|
|||
And I keep falling for the same mistakes
And you keep asking for another break
Many times must we go through this?
Life ain’t easy and neither’s this
I just want to hold you like I used to
Deja Vu
Do you remember those nights?
We used to stay up all night, just talking on the phone for a half a day too long
I thought I was dreaming, this couldn’t be a thing
How could I have struck gold when I barely knew your name?
But now the feeling’s different, we’ve seemed to grow apart
The things that use to make me laugh
Oh now they break my heart
My mind is somewhere spinning far off and in-between
And I can barely keep up with this reoccurring theme
And I keep falling for the same mistakes
And you keep asking for another break
Many times must we go through this?
Life ain’t easy and neither’s this
I just want to hold you like I used to
Deja Vu
Do you remember those fights?
Yeah, that shit would often ignite
And burn us to the core, ashes on the floor
I thought I was dreaming, you could’ve had me fooled
All this time I thought of you as one sweet, precious jewel
But now the feelings different, we’ve seemed to grow apart
The things that use to make me laugh
Oh now they break my heart
My mind is somewhere spinning far off and in-between
And I can barely keep up with this reoccurring theme
And I keep falling for the same mistakes
And you keep asking for another break
Many times must we go through this?
Life ain’t easy and neither’s this
I just want to hold you like I used to
Deja Vu
Maybe we can go back, go back
Maybe we can go back, go back
Ooh to a simpler time, baby, when the vibe was right
Maybe we can go back, go back
Maybe we can go back, go back
Ooh to a simpler time, when the vibe was right between you and I
And I keep falling for the same mistakes
And you keep asking for another break
Many times must we go through this?
Life ain’t easy and neither’s this
I just want to hold you like I used to
Deja Vu
And I keep falling for the same mistakes
And you keep asking for another break
Many times must we go through this?
Life ain’t easy and neither’s this
I just want to hold you like I used to
Deja Vu

Up My Sleeve
03:57
|
|||
I remember those days too well
Before everybody started to kiss and tell
We had a moment of freedom, no phone but we didn’t need 'em
All we had is each other, my sister and brother and then we lost control
I feel my body shakin' and I’m losin' my mind
But I’ve got a new-found energy taking a hold of me
Now here is a solution that you already know
So, give it time, give it time
I don’t wanna let go
So, I keep things up my sleeve, that’s where I wanna be, yeah
Up my sleeve, that's where I feel most free, yeah
Up my sleeve, I like to keep things hidden
All my inner visions, they stay with me, up my sleeve
Yeah I keep it all up my sleeve
Now those days, they have come and they’ve gone
But I can see the brightness in the early dawn
I don’t need to post this (no I don’t) cause all you want is just a quick fix (yes you do)
And you can mainline all your memories
Cause all I need’s in front of me
I feel my body shakin' and I’m losin' my mind (going crazy)
But I’ve got a new-found energy taking a hold of me
Now here is a solution that you already know
So, give it time, give it time
I don’t wanna let go
So, I keep things up my sleeve, that’s where I wanna be, yeah
Up my sleeve, that's where I feel most free, baby
Up my sleeve, I like to keep things hidden
All my inner visions, they stay with me, up my sleeve
So, I keep things up my sleeve, that’s where I wanna be, yeah
Up my sleeve, that’s where I feel most free, yeah
Up my sleeve, I like to keep things hidden
All my dreams and ambitions, they’re still hiding up my sleeve
Up my sleeve
Alright, now keep it up, keep it up, keep it up my sleeve
Up my sleeve, yeah, I like to keep my privacy, yeah
Up my sleeve, cause I like to keep things hidden
All my inner visions, they're still hiding up my sleeve
